A second Aeon Mall will be opened in Indonesia late next month as a part of the Japanese retail store company's ambitious expansion plans in Southeast Asia's most populous country, a company executive said Wednesday.

Mitsugu Tamai, the president director of PT Aeon Mall Indonesia, said that following a success of its first mall that opened in Tangerang, near Jakarta, in 2015, the second will be opened in the Jakarta Garden City housing complex in East Jakarta on Sept. 30.

Targeted to be the largest entertainment mall in the country, it will occupy 165,000 square meters of space on an 85,000 square meter plot of land, and will have 3,000 people working there.

With five floors including a basement, the mall will host 227 tenants. It will have a food court, a game center, a nine-screen cinema, an ice skating rink and a "Fanpekka" Finnish conceptual theme park for children.

It will also have a Ferris wheel that will let passengers enjoy the view of Jakarta's city and harbor area from a maximum height of 70 meters above the ground.
